Every three years there is a survey of recent alumni. There are links for the surveys of the 1996 and 1999 graduates below.

The new engineering educational effectiveness processes call for a more active participation of stakeholders in "a process based on the needs of the program's various constituencies in which the objectives are determined and periodically evaluated."

The ultimate stakeholders in the University of California are the people of the State of California. Through their willingness to take from their own needs to support the University, they provide the most meaningful assessments of the value of our contributions to the education of their children and to the well-being of society. We are honored and humbled by their confidence in our enterprise.

In the summer of 2002, the Director of the ICC noticed that business employers who once recruited heavily from UC Davis undergraduate seniors were not scheduling visits for the coming year. Given the chaos in the business world that summer, he might have merely attributed this to corporate belt-tightening. But he and his staff probed and learned that our limited accounting courses had insufficiently prepared our students for a recently revised CPA exam. He shared this information with the Provost's office and the Provost will share with the relevant deans. This is such a current situation that we cannot report closure, but it exemplifies attention to external assessment and to the communications norms on our campus.
